Hi, my DM11 is using loads of air! it is filled to just under 3000psi in 0.8l tank, it uses 2 of those in a 15 min game! Is this right??
Dye DM11 using loads of air?

well, I can only assume that your shooting constantly for those 15 minutes, and an average rate of 10bps
10bps * 60 (seconds a minute) * 15 (minutes) = 9000.
so 9,000 balls of a 3k fill is pretty good.
However, this is 4 and a half boxes, I can only suggest you shoot less, because carrying that amount of paint on your back is going to lead to nothing but back troubles. Please, look after yourself.

I do shoot alot but i only carry a full rotor (200) and 3 pods (140 each) so that iss how I'm confused?
Do you think it could be the Hyper 3 or LPR is adjusted wrong?

Thats about normal for a DM with a 0.8... if you want to be able to shot more buy an ego
Is 1.1l loads different to 0.8l then? I am taking it to diamond wars and so running out of air wouldn't be helpful!
You'd get a few more shots off a 1.1, so if you want to shoot more paint invest in a 1.1
It's worth checking the gun internals, hose fittings and bottle reg for any small leaks. The 3K 0.8L won't give much capacity, especially on a spool valve marker so a leak could rob you of shots. Other than that make sure the gun is set up 100% to maximise efficiency - dwell, LPR etc. and matching barrel to paint willl also boost shot count. Oversize bores waste air.

Dont. You obviously dont know a huge amount about the marker. So don't touch any settings because chances are you'll cause more harm than good. find someone who knows, bricketwood at the weekend, see if you can speak to any of the dye teams there, get them to explain and show you how to do it. but dont go in blind, because you'll **** it up
